Hero Contest #3 - Avatar

[krisserz]

He wrote it like the custom script (GetSpellAbilityLevel() ). But in GUI it`s something like damage unit. And 5 + 5*GetSpellAbilityLevel() is 5+ (arithmetic)5*LevelofAbility

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

yes, but in GUI you can use 'Unit - level of ability for unit' which then will be 'Unit - level of (Ability in question) for (Triggering unit)

 

[Duruka]

Alright, thanks.

 

[Kingz]

I use jass all the time so sorry if i confused you with that ^^

Glad i helped tho

 

[Darkyvm]

I'm going to use Vexorian's TimerUtils and RisingDusk's UnitStatus and Damage Detection system, are those allowed?

Edit: And grim001's AutoIndex, since it's required for UnitStatus.

Those are scripts, ofcourse they are allowed.

 

[Catch_ya]

Those are scripts, ofcourse they are allowed.

xe(projectile) is not allowed, you see not every script is allowed.
Good luck though.

 

[ronojales]

hey it started! XD

will be making a hero that is basically stealthy and speedy. since i'm not buffed and don't want to fight face on. *but will be doing it starting weekend*

 

[Catch_ya]

If we want to share some of our spells with the hive after this contest, are we then allowed to upload them?

EDIT: Also is it okay to use bonus mod?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I'm counting on it..., uploading the spells, that is.

 

[Freyleyes]

Its time to go shop for a model, some icons and effects

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Hehehee. I will go in shop when i come back from school

 

[Joe-black-5]

XD I hope this end up well, good luck all.

 

[scorpion182]

Those are scripts, ofcourse they are allowed.

Systems that do most of the work for you are not allowed.

All of these are allowed afaik, and that was the point...

We discussed the script/system thingie before the contest started, let's not talk about it anymore it has been settled down and let's get back to the topic, yea?

 

[Catch_ya]

Okay Finished one of my hero spells:

Spell

Target: Ally, Unit-Target
Effect: Heals an ally over time, if the unit is a hero then it will get additional strength.

Level 1 - Adds 5 strength and heals 225 damage over 15 seconds.
Level 2 - Adds 7 strength and heals 360 damage over 12 seconds.
Level 3 - Adds 10 strength and heals 450 damage over 10 seconds.

The spell is NOT balanced yet. I just create the spells and hero first and then balance.
EDIT: Yes the strength will dissappear when the healing stops.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Uh - Catch ya - will the strength dissipate? or stay forever? 'cause that'll make you score 0 in belance.

 

[Catch_ya]

Uh - Catch ya - will the strength dissipate? or stay forever? 'cause that'll make you score 0 in belance.

Of course it will dissappear when the healing stops. Lol if it wouldn't then it you could just stay in base and do it all the time.

 

[Kercyn]

of course you can have 4 active skills, 1 has to be an ultimate... but think before creating the spells: 4 damage spells won't be good for the balance.

But, in the initial post it says one passive. So, we can have 4 active skills? Is that absolutely fine? Because it will take me more time to think of an appropriate passive than to code it.

 

[ronojales]

question: does Shadow Meld count as one of the 4 abilities? it's just something like Maiev having 4 skills + Shadow Meld.

 

[MistAssass]

Sorry Darkmoon i didn't see your hero template but that was just an idea i had on the moment ... but it is frustrating to see the same idea twice ... so i'll change all that if i join ...
sorry 'bout that ... i'll think it over ...

 

[Freyleyes]

question: does Shadow Meld count as one of the 4 abilities? it's just something like Maiev having 4 skills + Shadow Meld.

Nope, shadow meld does not count. 4 Hero Abilities required. But you are not allowed to create a stand alone normal unit ability and add it to your hero.

alright. thanks

Berserk on!

 

[Pharaoh_]

I believe combat-order based abilities are not actually spells or skills to be counted. So, anything related to Stop/Move/Attack/Patrol/Attack Ground/Hold Position should not likely be considered as seperate abilities. For example Maiev and generally the Night elven race has Shadow Meld as a concept, which of course provides extra effectiveness to the gameplay. Heavily combat based abilities though are not likely to be triggered. Those abilities should not be level'd up either.

 

[Dragonson]

Is it too late to join this?
If not, i'd like to join in :/

 

[The Reborn Devil]

It's not too late

 

[Dragonson]

THEN I'M TAH IN! >
Let's get to work...

 

[Anachron]

Good luck all. I don't know whether I want to participate or judge. I would like to do both ;P
My theme is secret until I post the first testmap.

 

[alext]

Work in Progress 1

Howdy

My first time in a contest on THW, so warn me if you see any problems ok ?

Bug reports highly appreciated ofc

Question concerning the passive: I intend to make something toggle-able, meaning it should be a passive normally (an aura or something) and if the player activates the ability then something happens and the passive is removed until cooldown finishes. Does this count as passive?

Hero outline: Holy Warrior
Theme: Holy Magic, melee fighter
Based on the wc3 Paladin class
Skills done at the moment:

Vengeance of the Righteous: for 10 seconds, 25% / 50% / 100% of all damage taken by the Holy Warrior adds to his Righteous Fury. After 10 seconds, the Warrior gets 25% increased attack speed and movement speed and each of his attacks does extra damage equal to his Fury.

Ultimate: Repentance: Castable on friendly or enemy units. Puts the target in a state of repentance, effectively stunning it for 5 seconds and reducing its armor by 10. After 5 seconds, the target's health is fully restored.

So.. what do you think?

Cheers

 

[Mage_Goo]

Hello there...

I want to join this contest and hopefully will post my submission near the deadline. (Well, many homework here...)

And... I have a question:
Are WIPs need to posted in a somewhat-long interval before the final submission?
Example: I post a WIP and after 12 hour say, I post the submission. It's allowed, am I right?

I'll make a slime hero one, it will be interesting to participate.

I didn't saw the headline... shame on me
atleast 1 passive...

dgshyvltgdreusdflsjg, okay then

 

[Accname]

I will most likely join, this sounds fun.

my hero is already planned out, i got the name, the skills, the design and everything ready, just have to make it.

i still got 1 question:
1). do we have to have at least 1 passive skill? cause actually i wanted to have 4 active ones, many melee hereos got 4 active skills as well.

2). do we have to balance it like a normal melee hero? how is the balancing tested and judged?

3). its okay if our hero shares a model with an existing melee hero is it?

4). do we need some kind of story for the hero?

i will immediatley start on creating the hero, i think i will be finished within few days, this is really interesting.

good luck to all participants.

1) atleast 1 passive
2) balance for melee games
3) should be fine, but should fit the concept
4) story is allways good... but not necessary

i didn't understood most of this. just some (my bad, really XD)

the reason i asked is because i thought of making my hero do what those Night Elves do. but if normal unit abilities are not allowed, i'll drop my option.

but if i might ask, active normal unit abilities are supposedly not allowed, right? how about disabled spellbooks with passive abilities (passive abilities that are unit abilities - no levelup, triggered or not)? and when i mean by this, the spellbook abilities has nothing to do with the spells of the hero.

 

[Chewii]

2) balance for melee games

Comon seriously does it has to be balanced for the melee games? that's just dumb what i think then i have to change all my spells -.- If someone wants to use my hero then he just can reduce the power of the spell himself. Is it okay ? or will the judge reduce my points if i won't balance him?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Looks like you didn't read the rules thorough enough, chewii! But, it only counts for 5 points...

 

[Catch_ya]

I take balancing and originality as the two hardest points to live up to.

 

[Chewii]

Zzz im too lazy well its just 5 points .. I will win anyway xD

 

[nerovesper]

Is this still on?

Edit:
then I'm in.

 

[Chewii]

Yupp its still on and i have another question. If i post my map now is it okay to change it and mb post it later cuz i guess they wont judge untill April right?

 

[ronojales]

i think your last post with the map is the post that counts.

 

[DevilDuke1995]

Are TimerUtils and GroupUtils ok?

And can I get rid of 1995 in my name?

And good luck...

TO NONE OF YOU HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[ronojales]

i remember someone (i think Kingz) stating here that TimerUtils and such are allowed, just not those large systems or something.

and Xiliger said you can change your name a little, like if you're MagictheGathering101 you can use Magic the Gathering.

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Sorry Darkmoon i didn't see your hero template but that was just an idea i had on the moment ... but it is frustrating to see the same idea twice ... so i'll change all that if i join ...
sorry 'bout that ... i'll think it over ...

Well, at least it's good to see I wasn't blatantly copied.
